    Runs like new after 240K and 19 years.

    Mine has 240K. Burns no oil and no leaks! Has been well maintained i.e. full synthetic lubricants, transmission service intervals maintained etc. Paint has held up remarkably. The fuel injection is so perfect there is no soot in the tale pipe after 19 years.

    Most reliable car I've owned.

    Excellent vehicle for traveling taking trips. Want to sell because I don't drive it anymore because I have another vehicle. Great vehicle with thirdrow seat. Lots of leg room.

    Mechanically the most reliable vehicle I ever owne

    This SUV can seat 8 adults, and has plenty of leg room in all seats. The second & third row seats fold completely flat to fit a lot of cargo. It tows my 18 foot fiberglass fishing boat like it's nothing.

    I Love and WANT my car!

    I love the design of my car, the room , Appearance. But it has a couple of things that seem to happen to a lot of these cars. One would think it would have already been an issue before now. The fuse boxes in this car, just something happened to them all at once! The car will shut down completely in some cases. The heat and air start making this click click click.... noise. Kind of makes you be like I just won’t run that thing as much as we can bear it. I think those things should have been recalled already! But love the space and design.

    There's a reason why Ford had the most trucks in t

    This is my third Expedition. Loved every one. These are just plain solid. For a truck it drives pretty close to a car. My mechanic tells me that these can last well into the hundreds of thousands. Excellent price and quality compared to imports.

    I really wanted the Ford Motor Company to know...

    Unbelievable! This Ford Expedition of mine is just terrific! I can’t put in words the pleasure and service it has given me! Just changed my Fuel Pump after 235,000 miles! It was the original fuel pump...2004 and this was changed April of 2019. Leather still looks new and transmission is as strong as ever! I keep all of my fluids changed as they should be and “She” keeps on going.... I’m the 2nd owner and doubt if anyone else will own it! Love this truck and don’t want to let it go....FORD TOUGH!!!!!❤️

    The best SUV I have ever owned!

    This car met all of my needs plus some! Very comfortable for long or short distances. Tons of interior room. I feel very safe in this car. It has been my grocery getter all these years. I have used it to move (you can fit a lot of boxes in it). I can fit 7-8 adults in it, with the third seat. Has bags of power.
